Stoked. Looking forward to watching that in the theaters. Just 'cause of Johnny Knoxville is one awesome mothafucka! :cool:

I refuse to believe anyone has ever enjoyed a Schwarzenegger film in a non-ironic, hipster way :P He's always been an awful actor, and every single movie he's been in is so stupid. Terminator was the most tolerable one, though no thanks to Arnold himself. Especially now, since he proved himself to be a shitty politician and everyone hates him, it seems especially strange that he has ANY fans!

The first two Terminators and the first Conan were masterpieces. The Running Man was balls-to-the-wall awesome. The first Predator was just regular awesome. Total Recall, Kindergarten Cop and Red Heat were all solid. Commando was only saved because it had Wez from Mad Max 2 in an even gayer role than when he wore assless chaps and led an effeminate buttslave around on a leash. The rest, well, they can't all be wins.

Some of us don't feel compelled to view all forms of media as a means of feeling smug and self-satisfied. Some of us are actually capable of switching our brains off and watching some good cheesy stupid fun.

And Ahnold never "proved" himself to be a shitty politician, and if anybody hates him they're in the vast, vast minority. He was a capable and respected Governator and he is and forever will be a beloved and admired icon of a simpler, less self-absorbed age than we live in today.

Maybe get over yourself a little? If a giant chunk of the population of both the US and other western countries didn't love both the dude's personality and his fun-as-fuck screen presence, his career would have been over long before the Maria scandal. You know, with all his other scandals and shit? :cool:

As for the hipster thing, fuck you. About the only things that really applies to is Jingle All Ze Vay because of Conan, and Batman & Robin. And let's be honest, in a straight-up honest-to-god way those movies were Ahnuld. What the hell does anyone get out of B&R aside from "You nut sendin' ME to da coolah!" and such?

The governor thing's debatable. He'll never be remembered as a guy who got things done, sure, but California was going down the shitter by '03 anyway, and it's a bit more complicated than "dude doesn't speak English and is screwing over public school teachers". Lots of crazy shit going on.

The movie industry needs Ahnuld right about now, kick aside all of the douchey smug prettyboy leading-actors in action flicks, bring back some of the dorky, lowbrow, violent but fun 80s vibe, and in a way that doesn't seem cheap and direct-to-video like the Expendables unfortunately were.

Not to mention it's directed by the dude who did The Good, the Bad, and the Weird. Crazy awesome.

I'm actually starting to look forward to this new movie, largely because I really enjoyed Johnny knoxville in that movie with The Rock.

I'm a big fan of classic Arnold movies, in general. Some are better than others, obviously, but that doesn't make them any less fun.

I went and saw this last night. Fucking great. Was not expecting it to be as serious as it was. Arnold of course had a bunch of crazy one liners and Knoxville was pretty funny. But it definitely was a serious movie. I mean come on how can you not think Arnold shooting a dude in the head while falling from a building then using said man to break your fall is fucking great. Yea the director of "I Saw The Devil" did a good job with this one.
